Stimulating Factor

Differentiation-stimulating factor (D-factor)/leukemia inhibitory factor can induce the differentiation of mouse myeloid leukemia M1 cells and also stimulate proliferation of the interleukin-3 (IL-3)- dependent cell line, DA-1a. To determine whether D-factor can induce the differentiation of leukemia cells other than M1 cells, WEHI-3B D+ mouse myelomonocytic leukemia cells were transfected with a plasmid containing mouse D-factor receptor cDNA. Expression of D-factor receptor in transfected cells was determined by binding of [125]D- factor and analyzed by Scatchard's method. The transfected cells had high-affinity D-factor receptors with a dissociation constant of 100 to 200 pmol/L and binding sites per cell varied from 67 to 1,500 among several clones. The cells expressing a high level of D-factor receptor were induced to differentiate by D-factor; about 60% of the cells exhibited the ability to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium and expression of the differentiation antigen Mac-1 (CD11b) on the cell surface increased. The effect of cytokines, which induce the differentiation of M1 cells, on the transfected WEHI-3B cells was examined. The sensitivity to oncostatin M was identical to that against D-factor in the cells of each clone. Expression of D-factor receptor in WEHI-3B cells promoted sensitivity to IL-6 and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Induction of differentiation of the cells accompanied the suppression of proliferation. Treatment of the cells with D-factor for longer than 5 days resulted in 50% inhibition of growth. These results indicate that the stimulating effect of D-factor on the differentiation of malignant myeloid cells is not unique to M1 cells.

Inflammatory Phase

Oncostatin M (OSM) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) signaling protects the heart after myocardial infarction (MI). In mice, oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) are selectively activated by the respective cognate ligands while OSM activates both the OSMR and LIFR in humans, which prevents efficient translation of mouse data into potential clinical applications. We used an engineered human-like OSM (hlOSM) protein, capable to signal via both OSMR and LIFR, to evaluate beneficial effects on cardiomyocytes and hearts after MI in comparison to selective stimulation of either LIFR or OSMR. Cell viability assays, transcriptome and immunoblot analysis revealed increased survival of hypoxic cardiomyocytes by mLIF, mOSM and hlOSM stimulation, associated with increased activation of STAT3. Kinetic expression profiling of infarcted hearts further specified a transient increase of OSM and LIF during the early inflammatory phase of cardiac remodeling. A post-infarction delivery of hlOSM but not mOSM or mLIF within this time period combined with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging-based strain analysis uncovered a global cardioprotective effect on infarcted hearts. Our data conclusively suggest that a simultaneous and rapid activation of OSMR and LIFR after MI offers a therapeutic opportunity to preserve functional and structural integrity of the infarcted heart.

The pleiotropic cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is able to promote the growth of mouse primordial germ cells (PGCs) in culture. It is unclear whether LIF acts directly on PGCs or indirectly via feeder cells or embryonic somatic cells. To understand the role of LIF in PGC growth, we have carried out molecular and cell culture analyses to investigate the role of both the LIF ligand and its receptor in PGC development. LIF is able to stimulate PGC growth independently of the presence of feeder cells supporting the hypothesis that LIF acts directly on PGCs to promote their growth. We show here that transcripts for the low-affinity LIF receptor (LIFR), an integral component of the functional LIF receptor complex, are expressed in the developing gonad. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis, using an anti-LIFR antiserum, demonstrates that LIFR is present on the surface of PGCs, suggesting that PGCs are likely to be a direct target of LIF action in culture. Signalling via LIFR is essential for PGC growth in culture since the anti-LIFR antiserum, which blocks LIF binding to its receptor, abolishes PGC survival in culture. Two LIF-related cytokines, namely oncostatin M and ciliary neurotrophic factor, can also promote PGC growth in culture in addition to LIF. Thus one or more of these LIFR-dependent cytokines may play an important role in PGC development in mice.

Oncostatin M Receptor

The cytokine receptor subunits gp130, leukemia inhibitory factor receptor α (LIFRα), and oncostatin M receptor β (OSMRβ) transduce OSM signals that regulate gene expression and cell proliferation. After ligand binding and activation of the Janus protein-tyrosine kinase/STAT and mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathways, negative feedback processes are recruited. These processes attenuate receptor action by suppression of cytokine signaling and by down-regulation of receptor protein expression. This study demonstrates that in human fibroblasts or epithelial cells, OSM first decreases the level of gp130, LIFRα, and OSMRβ by ligand-induced receptor degradation and then increases the level of the receptors by enhanced synthesis. The transcriptional induction of gp130 gene by OSM involves STAT3. Various cell lines expressing receptor subunits to the different interleukin-6 class cytokines revealed that only LIFRα degradation is promoted by activated ERK and that degradation of gp130, OSMRβ, and a fraction of LIFRα involves mechanisms that are separate from signal transduction. These mechanisms include ligand-mediated dimerization, internalization, and endosomal/lysosomal degradation. Proteosomal degradation appears to involve a fraction of receptor subunit proteins that are ubiquitinated independently of ligand binding.
